Tubular Radiator Support
Does anyone have pictures of tubular radiator supports that they have seen or built? I recently traded my GMC Typhoon for the 92 Toyota that is in my profile. It is lifted on 44's and has a Fuel Injected aluminum head 302 with a Kenne Bell Supercharger. The radiator that was in it was junk and the mounts arnt that pretty. They cut the entire core support from headlight to headlight to recess the radiator far enough forward to clear the motor.
I have bought a Howe Aluminum radiator that was similar size to what I took out ot if. However, the top of the radiator with cap is 1/8" from the hood. The bottom is just about the same distance from the frame, so it is going to be tricky running a bar right along the top.
Thanks for any help.
Not sure if this will help ya but, my truck was wrecked, so the apron and upper rails were wiped out, i built this tubular support to hold the fuse panel, battery, and some other crap

Mine before it was painted.
Thanks for the help guys, anyone have some of where the body mount ties into the support?
are you guys measuring off of the stock support to make these or just kinda making everything fit?
here's some pics of one i did for a '71 blazer
I thought that was the exhaust for a sec... Bad Ass!!!
Thanks for the pictures guys. Some pretty sick work for sure.
